First the Hungarian part of this recipe I am not sure works for us or not, however when we think of goulash we typically think Hungarian, which is how the title came to be I believe. The recipe was concocted late into the night (morning actually) after a night out on the town in Tel Aviv, while Amelia was visiting me. Typically I am the one cooking our meals but on this very special (and a wee bit intoxicated) of occasion, Amelia got the cooking bug. The kitchen was a bit bare due to the fact that we had been on a journey to eat our way through Tel Aviv, so Amelia dug around came up with a few choice ingredients and walla, out came Hungarian Goulash, and like all “wee bit intoxicated” moments it was accompanied by a song entitled Hungarian Goulash!
